NHTSA Complaint #10363789 — 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

FRIDAY OCTOBER 29TH 2010, I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND MY RIM BLEW A HOLE. MY TIRE IS FINE ,BUT I HAVE A HUGE HOLE IN MY RIM. I DIDN'T RUN OVER ANYTHING AND I WAS JUST GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE SO I WAS DOING AROUND 50MPH. IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE THANK GOD OR I WOULD HAVE TAKEN CARS OUT WITH ME. I WAS JUST DRIVING AND I HEARD THIS VERY SCARY,LOUD SOUND AND IT JERKED ME OFF TO THE RIGHT AND I PULLED OVER AND CALLED FOR HELP. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY HAVE IN THE 30YEARS HE WORKED THERE EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THE DISTRICT MANAGER OK'D FOR ME TO GET A NEW RIM. MY CONCERN IS I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE WITH THE RIMS. ARE THEY SAFE? I HAVE A FAMILY, WILL THE OTHERS BLOW OUT LIKE THE ONE DID? HOW CAN YOU GUARANTEE ME THEY ARE SAFE?? I WANT 4 DIFFERENT RIMS DUE TO I DON'T FEEL SAFE. *TR
